Bella Il Visciolo

“ Excellent ”

December 22, 2013

We spent a week in October 2013 at Il Visciolo enjoying the wonderful hospitality of Flora and Alessandro.
The villa is exactly as it is portrayed on the Villa's website. Fully self contained, spotlessly clean and located in a very serene and peaceful setting.
Location is ideal - 35 minute bus ride to center of Florence. 5 minute walk to center of San Casciiano and close to a large Coop supermarket. San Casciiano is charming and walkable with several restaurants and shops.
The hospitality of the owners was exceptional - friendly, helpful but not intrusive. We were welcomed with a bottle of excellent wine, olive oil, olives from their orchard, crackers and cheese. When we mentioned that we were not planning to go out for dinner, Flora quickly provided some wild boar salami, fresh tomatoes and fresh bread for our dinner.
Flora was an English teacher and, of course, is fully bilingual. Very warm and outgoing, she provided helpful information and hints during our week stay.
Overall, our experience with Il Visciolo was outstanding in all respects. Highly recommended without reservation.
Thank you Flora and Alessandro!!
